What began as a hobby for a young girl named Barbara Annalee Davis, grew into a family business; the business of doll making. A young adult in the 1930′s, Annalee created dolls, unaware this hobby would become her life’s calling. Annalee transformed a chicken coop into a design room, and painted her smile onto dolls. She sold her dolls though craft outlets in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Years later, after her marriage to Charles ‘Chip’ Thorndike, her hobby transformed itself into a business that is now considered an industry innovator. Seventy-five years laters we’re still operating out of that chicken coop! Oh, sure, we’ve made some renovations (for one thing, the chickens have been relocated) but we honor Annalee’s vision: “If you smile, someone else has got to smile back.” A great motto for a company that’s been “cooped-up” for 75 years!

Designers are constantly coming up with brilliant ways to utilize natural and organic materials to decoration your interior spaces.  This beautifully simply metal fruit stack is a perfect example of an object that can help shape the form of your select fruit into a true decorative element.

Even your everyday home accessories can show off a sense of your designer fashion.  This beautiful mailbox design is sleek and simplistic.  Not overstated in its presence, it provides the heir of sophistication every contemporary styled home owner enjoys.

Your guest will realize your designer fashion cents before they ever set foot inside your home.  This stainless modern doormat is functional and fashionable.  This durable home accent is available in two stylish colors.

Arts and crafts aesthetics have always been at of heart of my decorating sense.  I love the warm tones and woods mixed with metals.  This cabinet design is a great example of craftsmanship coupled with contemporary usefulness.  Its clean lines, flared trim and cast metal hardware complete a clean, sophisticated and lustrous look.

If you have the need and space for a furniture piece such as this, then consider adding this Chesterfield Wastebin/Hamper to your dressing or bathroom.  Traditional styling combined with functionality and design, make this piece not only desirable but also dependable.  It’s made of solid wood.  Two additional drawers also provide for additional storage space.

This perfect lighting accent measures in at just about 30” in height.  It’s pairing of smooth bubbled glass, polished silver and traditional paisley pattern make it an appropriate decorative addition to almost any décor.

Natural-colored filler can be a wonderful textural addition to your glass displays.  For example this shredded grass filler from pottery-barn is made of shaved wood.  Pair it with a little hardscaped stone and glass and you’ve made a beautiful decorative accent at a fraction of the cost.

Seriously – I’m so excited to share some of Target’s new additions to their Home Furniture line.  This Avington Slipper Chair with Stripes might as well have jumped right off a designer showroom floor and at only $159.99 you won’t beat the price for this quality anywhere.  Check it out!
